20' Dual Temp Swim Spa | 7-Pump Lap Pool | Factory Hot Tubs Oakville

20' Dual Temp Swim Spa

20 Feet Long • 60 Inches Deep • 7 Pumps • Swim at 82°F, Soak at 104°F — Simultaneously

The most advanced swim spa on the market. With 7 total pumps (more than any competitor), 60-inch depth (deepest available), and two completely separate temperature zones, this is the flagship swim spa for buyers who refuse to compromise between swimming and soaking.

If you've been pricing out a traditional inground pool at $80,000+ and wondering if there's a better option for Canadian climates, this is it. A 20-foot pool for athletic lap swimming AND a premium 6-person hot tub — both operating at their ideal temperatures at the same time, usable 12 months a year, for roughly half the price of an inground pool.

The Dual Temperature Advantage

Standard swim spas force you to compromise. Set the temperature too warm and you overheat during exercise. Set it too cool and your post-swim relaxation feels like a cold bath. The Dual Temp solves this by giving you two separate zones with independent heating.

🏊 Swim Zone

Temperature: 82-88°F (28-31°C)

Power: 3 × 6BHP pumps + 1 circulation

Features: River jet swim system, 60" depth, LED lighting, swim against adjustable currents for lap training

🛁 Hot Tub Zone

Temperature: 100-104°F (38-40°C)

Power: 2 × 6BHP pumps + 1 circulation

Features: Full-body lounger, 4 therapy seats, cool-down step seat, waterfall, built-in ice bucket with drain

Both zones run simultaneously. Swim your laps, then step straight into the hot tub without waiting for the water to change temperature. Two separate Balboa touch-screen controls let each person adjust their zone independently.

Who the 20' Dual Temp Is Built For

This isn't a beginner swim spa — and that's by design. It's engineered for buyers who want the absolute best swim spa experience without any compromises.

🏊 Serious swimmers

20 feet of swim length, 60" depth, and a 3-pump river jet system deliver genuine athletic training conditions. No more short, shallow tubs that don't give you enough stroke length.

💸 Pool shoppers looking for a smarter option

If you've been pricing inground pools at $80,000-$100,000, this delivers the pool experience for roughly half the cost — plus year-round usability and hot tub functionality.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Multi-generational families

Grandpa wants to soak in hot water. Teenager wants to swim laps. Kids want to play. Everyone gets their preferred experience without compromising.

🏆 Buyers who want the best

7 pumps. 60" depth. AI technology. Two Balboa touch-screen systems. This is the flagship spec sheet — if you want the top of the line, it's here.

Built to Last 20+ Years in Canadian Climates

The 20' Dual Temp is built with the same premium construction as our flagship hot tubs — engineered specifically for Ontario winters.

✓ Platinum Premium Shield Insulation

Three-layer insulation system: spray foam bonded to the shell, foil-backed perimeter wrapping inside the cabinet, and 2lb hard rigid insulation panels on the cabinet walls. Maintains temperature even through -20°C Ontario winters.

✓ Welded 304 Stainless Steel Frame

No wood. No rot. No termite risk. The frame will outlast the rest of the spa. Unlike full-foam competitors that hide wood frames inside foam, our construction is built for decades.

✓ Aristech Acrylic Shell

World-leading acrylic supplier. Dual hand-rolled fibreglass backing makes the shell self-supporting — it won't sag or flex under the weight of thousands of gallons of water.

✓ Quality Plumbing Construction

Premium plumbing systems using both gear-clamped and glued connections where appropriate for long-term reliability. All plumbing remains accessible for service if needed.

✓ 7-Pump System Engineering

Multiple pumps mean lower individual load per pump, which extends pump life. Each pump handles a specific zone rather than overworking one central system. This is why our swim spas typically last 15-20+ years.

20' Dual Temp Swim Spa FAQ

How much does the 20' dual temp swim spa cost?

The 20' Dual Temp Swim Spa is our flagship swim spa and sits in the premium category, typically in the $30,000 to $45,000 range depending on configuration and promotions. Contact our Oakville showroom at 905-338-9995 for current pricing. We offer free GTA delivery, financing through FinanceIt, and trade-ins on any major brand.

How does a dual temperature swim spa work?

A dual temperature swim spa has two separate chambers with independent heating and plumbing systems. The swim zone is maintained at exercise-friendly temperatures (typically 82-88°F/28-31°C), while the hot tub zone stays at traditional spa temperatures (100-104°F/38-40°C). You can swim laps and then immediately step into the hot tub section without waiting for the water to heat or cool. Two separate Balboa control systems let you adjust each side independently.

How deep is the 20' dual temp swim spa?

The 20' Dual Temp Swim Spa is 60 inches deep — the deepest swim spa depth available on the market. This extra depth allows tall swimmers to use proper swim form without their hands touching the bottom, makes dive-turn technique possible, and feels more like swimming in a real pool than a shallow swim spa.

How many pumps does it have?

The 20' Dual Temp has 7 total pumps — the most of any swim spa on the market. Three 6BHP pumps power the swim jets, two 6BHP pumps power the hot tub hydrotherapy, and two 0.5HP whisper-quiet circulation pumps maintain water movement on each side. This massive pump system delivers genuine athletic-grade swim resistance and commercial-grade therapy pressure.

Can I use it year-round in Ontario?

Yes. The 20' Dual Temp is built with Platinum Premium Shield insulation, foil-backed perimeter wrapping, and 2lb hard insulation bonded to the shell — engineered for Canadian climates. Many owners actually prefer using their swim spa in winter. Operating costs typically run $30-$60 per month for standard use.

Is a swim spa better than a traditional pool?

For Canadian climates, yes in most cases. A typical inground pool costs $50,000-$100,000+ to build plus $2,000-$4,000 per year to operate, and is only usable 4-5 months per year. Our 20' Dual Temp Swim Spa costs roughly half as much installed, runs year-round through Ontario winters, and offers both swim training AND hot tub functionality. See our complete Swim Spa Cost in Canada guide.

What are the electrical requirements?

The 20' Dual Temp requires a dedicated 240V/60A swim side 50A hot tub side circuit with GFCI protection.

What size pad do I need?

A reinforced concrete pad approximately 22 feet × 9 feet is ideal, with a thickness of at least 4-6 inches. The filled swim spa with swimmers inside weighs over 15,000 pounds, so proper foundation is critical.
